Really makes me think of The Matrix scene with the woman in the red dress.
Can't tell if they did this on purpose to freak us all out?
Are we all just prompts?

Sadly, management mostly worked us 4-and-1s because, despite the fact that each day we were less productive, over 3 months more trees would get planted in less time.
4-and-1s of gruelling manual labour inevitably leads to burn out. It did every season without fail, and we all expected it. Burnout was a built-in condition. The key here is that labour tolerated it only because the work was seasonal. There was always an end in sight. And most folks spent the off-season on a beach somewhere it was cheap enough to live off the earnings, surfing and eating tacos all day (or the equivalent activity).
The salaryperson should not accept burn out as a built-in; we are labourers for life and we need to learn how to find dignity in such a reality. When I first transitioned to a salaried worker, I brought the burn out mentality to my work and had a lot of pride in that. And though full of bride, the burnt out husk that I as had little dignity.
Ratios that allow for more life and less labour is that dignity.
A senior engineer should be making an impact outside of their own team and to do that you need to be an effecitve communicator.
I don't see how any of the projects on this list are requirements for building an online board game.
This is why I'd find reporting that tries to figure this out a bit more interesting and relevant for most of our industry.
Layoffs are inevitable, will getting a new job after be a lot more difficult? Is the current deluge of recruiter emails still being spammed at me an illusion/a lagging indicator of where the hiring market is actually at?
Our "Job Security" comes from the overall state of the hiring market, not finding a job at the most stable company and putting in 30 before retiring.
If folks are rattled, its because of the state of the job market, something I'm actually curious about. Reporting on this would have actual value, as I'm still getting recruiter emails from many of the recent companies that have publicly said they are freezing/slowing down hiring and from many, many startups.
This article just reads like schadenfreude for the majority of tech workers who have never experienced the job security of being at a giant engine growth that never stalled once for 10-15 years.
"Nice someone replied, we can make the debate hot and up the discussion. I saw, maybe, with defined purpose, to motivate me to participate, people kidding with de Funny Balloons the Condom, so, if I could elaborate a campaingn, (Please don't get me in touch with politicians, prefer tech tycoons, movies tycoons....). Anyways, returning, I would elaborate a campaingn with a "kids kit" with real fun balloons, trying to avoid, the people use the Condom to fun. If people use the Condom to fun, the real utility get lost. Resume: LOL; Campaing, explaining about don't use Condom to other purposes. If can the involved combine the 2 pratices? The Condom, besides the female, so usefull, indispensable in fact but, I guess, with any Medical or public health formation, injectable, more effective and some, 3 months of safety. Doing the math maybe a little expensive for governments, 3 to 3 months, the women getting a injection, vacine. Maybe doing the math, more efective to try to resolve the populational growth without control. We have to remember the following. Abbandoned people, in anyway tend to search for bad things. Crimes, drugs, go out home, etc. I see some times, rich people abbandoned, so, maybe, worth to think what is more expensive for the system. A correct, effective born control or the troubles caused with the excess of sons or not structured families. Many questions need to be checked. Religion, Value, if worth, ages, fertility, anyways, it's a multi disciplin debate. Health workers, politicians, activists, companies, government, technology, my old area, is the less useful and THERE ARE A LOT OF SOLUTIONS READY."
Reading this so far has been one of the most rewarding learning experiences of my life. If you are interested in how philosophy, religion, and civilization has emerged and grown in our species, than you will be constantly delighted while reading this. The Durants are equal to none.
